Premier League rivals would rather be in the
Europa League final than scrapping over a top-four
finish.
Mourinho's side must beat Ajax in Stockholm later
this month to gain a Champions League berth for
next season via victory in Europe's secondary club
competition.
Defeat to Tottenham on Sunday ruled out the
prospect of United finishing in the top four
domestically, with Liverpool, Manchester City and
Arsenal contesting the final two spots as the
season enters its final week.
"We, Manchester United, for us it is more important
to win titles than to finish top four," Mourinho told
reporters.
"So if we can win a third title [including the
Community Shield], or like you like to say a second
title, if we can do that it would be magnificent for
us because we know that it's a big objective.
"We know that if we lose the final we don't play
Champions League. We know that.
"But we fight for titles and probably other clubs
finishing in the top four, probably they would like to
be in our position to try and fight for the title."
